Auth0 - SSO breeze .
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We are using Auth0 for 7 years now, looking for a provider to replace our internal login implementation one that keep up with SAML implementations and later on OIDC implementations. This helped our goal of separating authentication from the main platform and forget about security standards updates to keep up with.
Pros
- SAML, Social and OIDC connections
- Universal login
- Availability and Reliability.
- Security threats, throttling per user and IP
Cons
- User metadata with multiple identities is a mess - first connection set the user attributes while others are set within the identities arrary.
- The UI does not keep your filter and you always need to write it again.
Return on Investment
- SAML SSO is a breeze - this alone saves a lot of dev/support hours.
- We are not worried by hackers and chasing security protocols and standards, I guess about half a day job of a developer.
- Telling customers we can connect them with what ever they have whether its social / SAML / OIDC put us in flexible position
